Star Wars films would have been very much improved by having force-sensitive students who challenged the thinking of their teachers.
Consider the following statements by Jedi to people they trained or are training:
- "Only a Sith deals in absolutes." - Obi-Wan to Anakin in Revenge Of The Sith
- "Do ... or do not. There is no try." - Yoda to Luke in The Empire Strikes Back
Those are both absolute statements themselves, so... are those Jedi admitting that they're Sith themselves, or just so indoctinated that they can't see the paradox?
It would have been very funny to us if Anakin had responded by Obi-Wan with something like:
"Oh, so you're a Sith, then?"
The Jedi should have died, but in the sense of abandoning their flawed, binary, and absolute methods of thinking.
If the Force is about balance, then maybe pretending that it's a binary and only teaching people about one aspect of it isn't actually that sensible, huh?
Oh. We just realised this isn't just a vent about Star Wars 😅
We're now headcanoning grey force users as non-binary :NonBinaryHeart:

A great article on avoiding binary thinking in design, from @Cjforms.
"The world is analog and yes/no is a binary choice, so the two options rarely reflect the real world entirely accurately."

saw a thread:
Johanna Lönngren: "What are the reasons for humans' preference for #BinaryThinking?
Is there evidence from e.g. neuroscience that could explain this preference on the basis of certain brain structures? Or evidence from psychology, anthropology, developmental psychology, ...? I am trying to understand why binary thinking is so persistent despite our understanding that the world is more complex than binary pairs - "
